Hi everyone, today I am combining my free mandala class series with Paper Love. So we have two for the price of one! WOOHOO!
So today is all about Mandalas and paper together, yummy!
Just a small pile of paper!
Paper Love
First of all, here is a little video intro to some of my favourite hand-made papers which I’ll be using in the mandala class video below. I love love love handmade paper and collect it wherever I can on my travels to add to my stash. I love the texture, the way it tears, the beautiful nature elements and patterns that can be found. I also collect paper from envelopes, wrapping paper, bread bags! parcels….. basically any scraps of paper go into my paper love stash.
I also love to collect papers in various colors and as you can see below, I pop them into color folders to use for some of my own color energy work. {and as part of my color energy online class}
My colors of the rainbow collection for my color energy work
Mandala class – part 2 – collage
For the free Mandala Class part 2, we are using these beautiful hand-made papers to create a very simple circles collage and an 8 point mandala with paper and pressed flowers. If you do not have access to hand-made paper, that is okay. Colored paper, wrapping paper, parcel paper or any other type of paper you can get your hands on would be just perfect!
This is just a teeny tiny peek into what we will be diving into in the new “Mixed Media Mandalas” online class
***
Would you like to explore the sacred circle and mixed media mandalas further? I would love for you to join me to dive deeply in the 4 week “Mixed Media Mandalas” online class.
By the end of class, you will have a journal full of sacred circles and at least one finished mixed media piece of artwork to hang on your wall.
